The Oahu surf is perhaps the most famous surf in the world.

Surfing on Oahu has a quite different connotation to most people than surfing on any of the other Hawaiian Islands. There is no question that Oahu surfing has been much more famous over the years probably because of the large surfing events that are held there. Oahu's North Shore provides some of the very biggest surf in the world, often in excess of 50', and the has over time drawn the very best names in surfing from all over the world to compete in these huge Oahu surfing contests. Even the casual "arm chair" surfers are familiar with the immense Oahu surf simply by watching TV and almost everyone is familiar with the surf breaks named Pipeline, Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach. These surfing locations are carved into the surfing lexicon with images of fearless surfers challenging the mightiest waves in the world.

Don't for a minute believe however that Oahu doesn't have waves that are suitable for all types of surfers including beginner surfers looking for Oahu surf lessons. Generally speaking the big surf you read about is only found on Oahu's North Shore and only during the winter months. The surf on the North Shore in the summer months can in fact be great surf for those not as skilled as the surfing masters that come to ride the big surf in the winter surfing contests. And some day in the winter are also suitable for beginner surfing as these giant waves only come in periodically.

The Oahu surf on its south shores such as off the coast of Waikiki is almost always much smaller and is incredibly consistent throughout the year and is mostly suitable as a surfing location at all times of the year. This Oahu surf found in Waikiki is also famous as well as this was the training grounds for many of the pioneers of the sport of surfing such as Duke Kahanamoku the famous Hawaii waterman, surfer and Olympic champion. These gentle waves off Waikiki are some of the very best in the world to learn on as they fill the waters off the shoreline with perfect size waves that have a seemingly endless surf break from hundreds of yards of shore in the shallow areas along the coast.

Waikiki and other areas, particularly along the southern shores, are where you will find the majority of surfing schools giving instructions for their Oahu surfing lessons. Sometimes you will meet the surfing instructors right on the beach but most often they will arrange to pick you up at your Waikiki hotel and take you to the best surfing spots of the day. Obviously every surfing day is different and ideal surfing locations for surfing lessons will vary so these surf schools have the luxury of taking you to the best waves on any specific day.

The actual process of learning to surf is actually fairly easy, particularly on the larger foam boards that are often used in these lessons and it is not at all unusual to have you standing up on your board and surfing on your very first surf lesson. Most of the time your surf instructors will begin by giving you instructions on the beach with your board on the sand but will shortly thereafter take you out into the surf breaks where the real surfing will take place. These surfing instructors have very often been professional surfers on the surfing circuit but they are all professional in the sense of teaching surfing lessons as their occupation. They realize that surfing may seem intimidating to the beginner surfers and they are very patient and extremely encouraging and are almost always able to coax the beginner into a position of being able to stand up on a couple waves for a surf ride into the shoreline.
